This is a triumph
I’m making a note here:
Huge success
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction

Wataro-Daisuki
You fought to save the clan
For the good of all of them
Except the ones you behead

But there’s no sense crying over every sword fight
You just keep on swinging with all o your might
And the killing gets done
‘Till the clan falls to the son
For Wataros who are still alive!

== And in a separate contribution ==

He’s met Tadashi and he’s still alive

He’s doin’ fishing and he’s still alive
He’s sellin’ weapons and he’s still alive
There’s a war on and he’s still aliveThey’ll go pub crawling while he’s still alive
The world will end and he’ll be still alive

STILL ALIVE!

Yorikiro reminisces to the rhythm of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” themeby KungFuKlobber

Now this is the story all about how
I flipped my life right upside down
And if I could have a minute of your time to borrow
I’ll tell you how I became estranged from the House of Wataro

In power and money born and raised
In the dojo is where I spent most of my days
Genchu had me trainin’, gainin’ some skills
While my dad went out to reap a lot of plunder and kills
Then he exiled Genchu for changing his side
And I learned of a plot for a groom and a bride
While the daimyo sent out all the Demons of Sorrow
I ran away from home and Hirotomo Wataro

I had lots of adventures among towns and trees
Makin’ new friends and lots of enemies
And some crazy redhead chick from the world of tomorrow
Helped me remain the living ex-prince of Wataro

I rolled into the village about seven or eight
And I yelled to a soldier, “Yo, homes, hold the gate”
Ran into the three remaining Demons of Sorrow
It’s the price of being the ex-prince of Wataro

I like big swords and I cannot lie
You samurai can’t deny
That when a ronin pulls out a twelve-foot sword
You think he’s out of his gourd
You should run: the fight’s already done
‘Cause you notice that sword’s insane
It can send your friends all flying
Just listen to the dead and dying
Don’t run; I just wanna play games
Kick butt and take names
Don’t listen to ’em try to warn ya
That they’re all about to mourn ya
Red Dragon Zanbatou
You’ve never heard it swung before?
A big boom, after a swoosh
‘Cause I’m here to play Nuclear Kadoosh!
I’ve seen them drinkin’
To hell with deep thinkin’
Ooh, rice wine
Your sake’s about to be mine
It’s kind of like my fuel
And I’m not especially cruel
But when I’m running short on my favorite brew
I’ll take what I need from you
So, ronin! (Yeah!) Ronin! (Yeah!)
Is your shord shorter than you? (Um, yeah …)
Get a bigger one! (Well …) Or else! (Okay!)
Get a big, fat sword!
Baby got blade!

– Prepare for clones
– In residential zones!
– To protect the clan from humiliation!
– To subdue all peoples within our nation!
– To denounce Genchu and the pupils thereof!
– To shoot fake arrows from above!
– Uso!
– Uso!
– Team Uso, shoot him at the speed of light!
– Yori will never win this fight.
(Uso! That’s right.)

You walked into the village
And you were disguised as someone hot
Your hair strategically covering your eyes
To further your evil plot
You had one eye that was swirly for
The victim of your shot
Yorikiro dreamed that you were the princess
You were the princess, and

Uso vain
You prob’ly think this comic’s about you
Uso vain
I’ll bet you think this comic’s about you
Don’t you? Don’t you?

You shot him several hours ago
When he was still unaware
You noticed that they made such a pretty match
And divined they were a pair
Your illusion failed eventually
But that hypnotic glare
Made Yori dream you were clones, by the Kami
Clones, by the Kami, and

Uso vain
You prob’ly think this comic’s about you
Uso vain
I’ll bet you think this comic’s about you
Don’t you? Don’t you?

You made Yori dream you were clones, by the Kami
Clones, by the Kami, and

Well, I hear you are a Demon of Sorrow
Ryoku naturally lost
But you’re vain enough now that you think you can still win
Although your streams are all totally crossed
Well, Ina knows where you are right now
It’s time to pay the cost
Now you’re gonna get a beatdown from her boyfriend
Beatdown from her boyfriend, and

Uso vain
The audience is starting to doubt you
Uso vain
I’ll bet you think this comic’s about you
Don’t you? Don’t you?

You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you’re somethin’ else
Where you are ain’t where it’s at
You see you’re making me laugh out
When you strike your pose
Take off all your Ninja clothes
You know you’re not fooling anyone
When you’ve become…
Somebody else ’round everyone else
You’re watchin’ your back like you can’t relax
You’re tryin’ to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me!!!…..
Why do you have to go and make our plot so complicated?

it was a Teenage Fedual Japanese Wedding and the old folks wished them well!!!
You could see that the Wataro did truly loved the Senshin girl quite well!
Now the young monsieur and madame have rung the Shinto bell
“セ・ラ・ビ”, say the old folks It goes to show you never can tell!!!

They bought a souped-up Carriage
’twas a cherry red 1753

They drove it down to Osaka

To celebrate the anniversary

It was there that the Wataro was married

To the lovely Senshin he loved so well
“セ・ラ・ビ”, say the old folks It goes to show you never can tell!!!

Hey Genchu! Where you going with that sword in your hand?
Hey Genchu! I said where you going with that sword in your hand?
“I’m going cut down my old friend Ricky, I caught him selling guns to the Wataro clan!”
And that ain’t too cool

Forward Senshin soldier marching without fear!
With our old commander safely in the rear!
Yuki plays Goh from morn till night and thinks he’s very brave,
but the men who really did the job are dead and in their graves.
Forward Senshin soldier Marching without fear!
With our old commander safely in the rear!

If you like Killing Wataro! and getting caught in the rain!
If you’re not into yoga, if you have half a brain!
If you like robbing bystanders at midnight while wearing a mask and a cape
Then I’m the Daisuke that you’ve looked for! write to me and escape!

Oh yeah, send an e-mail to both of us! Joe’s busy formatting volume 2, but I can find time to get them up on the site.

Sunwu

Can I send you the ones I can as well?

Sunwu

some of mine are lost to the passages of time *Sigh*

KungFuKlobber

If you posted them with your Disqus account, they should still be in your profile history, if you care enough to look through it, the same way I found mine.

I didn’t when everyone started this whole singing thing, I was logged in as a guest and had stupid names like “Monkey king” or “ricedeath”
